Chapter 1008 Juan Yayun Light Breeze and Lightness Has Been Decided (Ask for a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month~)

"Sports news in the United States is really lacking..." Tang En muttered and turned off the TV.He originally wanted to watch sports news on TV, but there were very few reports on football, and he was talking about basketball, baseball, ice hockey, and rugby.It's not really a lack, it's just that there is very little news about football.

He decided to go online to see what European football news there is.Although he is retired, it is impossible for him to rest at home for the rest of his life and let his wife take care of him.His future work is basically inseparable from football, so he has to do his homework and keep an eye on the world football, so that he will not get caught up when he really needs to use these materials.

Tang En has already planned for his future. After resting for a few months, he will go out to look for a job again.If there is no accident, he will accept the invitation of BBC5 to be a commentator of football matches. As for the future...he has not considered it, maybe he will host a football program like Lineker .

Teresa was taking a nap in her room at the moment, but Dunn couldn't rest.Because if he wants to do something of his own, he can only use Teresa's nap time, otherwise, when Teresa wakes up, he will go to accompany his daughter.

Just as he turned on the computer, the cell phone next to him rang.

Tang En picked up the phone and glanced at the caller ID on the screen. It turned out to be the old man Billy Wooks.

This surprised him a little.In his impression, since he was no longer the head coach of Nottingham Forest, this Wood's agent rarely approached him. There was no personal friendship between them. Now that the working relationship is gone, there is no need to contact him again. .

What was he doing calling himself at this time?

Tang En thought for a while before answering the phone.In fact, he really doesn't like dealing with this old man with abnormal sexual orientation, especially when he hears his voice that is neither male nor female, it gives him goosebumps all over his body.But after all, in his own position, the agent didn't really want to persuade George Wood to leave, so he still wanted to show the other party some face.

"Hey, Mr. Wukes, why did you remember to call me?" Tang En teased. "I'm not the manager of Nottingham Forest now."

"Are you still in Los Angeles, Mr. Tang En?" To Tang En's surprise, the other party did not continue to sneer back.

"Huh?" Tang En was taken aback by this question before he realized it. "Yes, I'm in Los Angeles. What, are you there? Are you on vacation?"

"I was there two days ago, but now I'm in Nottingham. Sounds like you're having a good time in Los Angeles, but I'm sorry... can you go back to Nottingham now?"

Tang En felt strange: "Go back to Nottingham? I have to wait another month..." A thought suddenly flashed in his mind, "Is something wrong, Mr. Wookes?"

"George plans to retire. I persuaded him all night and he didn't listen. I think the only people in this world who can persuade him are his mother and you. But unfortunately, his mother is lying in a hospital bed and is confined to a coma. in, so only you can..."

Tang En didn't listen to a single word that followed.

He felt as if he was experiencing a thunderstorm in his mind, with lightning, thunder, and rumbling.This was simply too amazing, his brain was a little overwhelmed and almost froze.

George Wood retired?Sophia comatose?
what happened?
"...Mr. Tang En, I hope you can come back immediately." Wu Kesi's words penetrated into Dun En's ears again - he finally came back to his senses. "George is going to call a press conference to announce it...but you know if he does announce it, things will only get worse. I advised him that he wouldn't listen. I can only tell him that the club has a contract with him. If he decides to terminate his contract and retire, he should at least discuss it with the club... I am waiting for you, Mr. Tang En."

After Wu Kes finished speaking in one breath, Tang En opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.It was the first time he saw Wu Kesi lost his calm demeanor and said so many words in one breath.

After the lightning and thunder, there was a violent storm in his mind, and it became a mess.He shook his head vigorously, and then pinched his thigh, but the pain made him cry out.

"Mr. Tang En?" Wu Kes heard Tang En's screams on the other end of the phone, and still didn't understand what happened.

"Uh...it's nothing, I'm fine. I'll be back, right away, I'll book a plane ticket now." Tang En burst into tears from being pinched by himself, which also cleared his mind a lot. "Before I come back, you must help me hold him back! We will contact you anytime!"

After saying this, he hung up the phone.

Next, Tang En got up and walked around the room a few times to calm himself down completely. Then he made two phone calls, one was Shania, telling him that there was something urgent and he had to go back to Nottingham. Teresa stayed in Los Angeles Stay with her, and he will come back after the matter is over.Shania was also very surprised that Dun En decided to return to Nottingham so suddenly. She asked what was so urgent, and Tang En told her that George was going to retire. She immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and she promised Tang En to work As soon as it was over, I rushed home to take care of Teresa.

The second call was Dunn's call to the local ticket reservation center, to book a ticket to London with the fastest departure.

After making these two phone calls, Dunnto got out of the suitcase and started packing.In fact, there was nothing to take, just a few pieces of underwear and a few sets of clothes, which Tang En quickly stuffed into the suitcase.After finishing all this, Tang En sat down and thought about what he had just heard.

Sophia is in a coma... Obviously her condition has worsened, and her health has not been very good in the past few years.To be ruthless, Sophia will not live for a few years.Tang En was a little mentally prepared for this.But Wood didn't... no, no, he did, but he didn't want to admit it.

Wood's retirement and Sophia's coma are inextricably linked. Twain thought about it carefully, based on his understanding of Wood.This kid must have no intention of training and competing because his mother was critically ill.And for more than ten years, his mother has been the motivation for him to do everything. Now that his mother is critically ill, he obviously has no intention of continuing to play football, so choosing to retire and spend time with his mother is his future plan.

But such a plan...

"You idiot!" Tang En cursed.

※ ※ ※

The news that Sophia was hospitalized in a critically ill coma quickly spread throughout the UK.Everyone knows that the person Wood loves most is his mother, so no one is surprised that Sophia is absent from training because of her illness. It's just that there are more and more media people waiting outside the hospital day and night, and the hospital and the police have to A lot of people were dispatched to maintain order and block those paparazzi who drilled every hole.

Vivienne Miller is still responsible for taking care of Sophia's daily life in the ward—in fact, there is nothing to take care of at the moment.Two days passed, and Wood's mother was still in a coma. The attending doctors were worried that Sophia would never wake up again and become a vegetable.Of course, they didn't tell George Wood about this concern, they just discussed it in private.

Last night, Wood and his agent talked for a long time outside, with a somewhat intense tone.Vivienne didn't hear what they were arguing about, but when she saw the two of them appearing in front of her again, their expressions were not very good-looking.She doesn't know what happened to the two of them. It stands to reason that she doesn't need to worry about this kind of thing. Her job is only to take care of the patients, not including the patient's son.But once she was free, she would think about it—what made the two of them quarrel so fiercely?
At this moment, Wood was sitting on the sofa outside the ward, burying his head in his hands. It was just one night, and his spirit was much more decadent than before.

Wu Kesi opened the door and entered.

"I've called the club and they've heard about your retiring. Want to hear their reaction?"

Wood shook his head: "I'm going to retire anyway."

"You still have a contract with the club. If you want to forcibly terminate the contract and retire, you have to discuss it with the club first. The club obviously does not approve of your retirement application. They agree to give you a period of leave, but they don't want you to just retire." As for persuasion, Wu Kes had already drooled last night.Now he doesn't want to say anything more, he just relays the opinions of the club.

Next, Wu Kesi sat across from Wood and looked at Wood: "Is your mother awake?"

Wood shook his head slowly.This is the source of his uneasiness. His mother hasn't opened her eyes yet, and she doesn't know if she can wake up again.

"If you really want to retire, it's best to have an interview with the representative of the club..." Wu Kesi said again.

This time Wood didn't object, he just nodded.There was another silence in the ward.

※ ※ ※

Although they wanted to interview with the club representatives, the club did not send someone right away, because they were already frightened by the news that Wood was about to retire.

"Retire?!" McAllister was taken aback by the news. If it hadn't been for the club chairman Evan Dalgety, he would have thought that the other party intended to amuse him.Although Wood is 32 years old, he is still in good health. Everyone thinks that he can play until he is at least 40 years old, just like the legendary captain of the last forest team, Stuart Pierce.

"George's agent called us and said he decided to retire last night."

Evan looked at the two men under him, one was the head coach McAllister, and the other was Allen Adams.He hoped the two men would come up with some ideas.

"I think this is absurd..." Alan Adams frowned tightly, "How could he decide to retire so rashly?"

McAllister said on the side: "In fact, some retirements are indeed the product of impulse. For example, the former Manchester United king Cantona..."

Evan waved his hand, if he continued to entangle on this issue, it would be a long way off topic. "I don't care what he wants to retire for, but I can't let him get what he wants. We all know that Nottingham Forest can't leave him. You guys think of a way for me."

McAllister hesitated for a moment. He secretly glanced at Alan Adams who was sitting next to him, but he was indifferent.It seems that he is going to watch a show, but think about it, Wood is his McAllister player, and his head coach obviously has more say in this matter than the marketing manager.

"I'll go and persuade him..." It seemed that I was the only one to do this kind of thing.Communicating with Wood is not an easy task... McAllister has been in the team for a few months, and he hasn't really communicated with Wood much, because when you chat with him, you can talk for half an hour, and your saliva will be exhausted. If you do it, you may only get a sentence or two of answers.To be honest, he would rather lead the team to a bloody battle with Manchester United at Old Trafford than to have a private conversation with George Wood.

Seeing the head coach take the initiative to take over the task, Evan Dalgety nodded with satisfaction.

He felt that Wood must have been impulsive. Now that the head coach personally persuaded him and gave him enough face, if he is allowed to calm down for another day, he should withdraw his decision to retire, right?

※ ※ ※

Under Evan's arrangement, it took one day for McAllister to come to the hospital to see Wood.In the past two days, Wood has been in charge of the hospital ward, where he eats, drinks, and scatter. He doesn't close his eyes until his mother wakes up.When McAllister saw him, he couldn't believe his eyes—the legendary captain of Nottingham Forest was haggard with sunken eyes and unshaven beard, and he was completely different from the vigorous and powerful George Wood on the court. people, very different.

After greeting Wood's mother first, McAllister clarified his purpose of coming-persuading Wood to withdraw his decision to retire.

McAllister analyzed the pros and cons of this retirement for Wood from various angles, hoping that he would calm down.But he failed.

No matter what McAllister said, Wood just didn't speak, and said after he finished speaking: "I have already decided to retire."

When McAllister heard what he said, he immediately retreated. He was skeptical about whether he could persuade Wood.Now it's time for him to retreat.

After Evan Dalgetty heard from McAllister that Wood was determined and he could do nothing, he had no choice but to do it himself.He took Alan Adams to the hospital, visited Wood's mother with the club's famous words, and told him to stay with his mother in the hospital at ease. The team had already given him a holiday, and it would not be too late to return to the team after his mother's condition improved.

Anyway, it's not about retirement.

It's a pity that Wood didn't appreciate it, and didn't express his gratitude to Evan Dalgety for his arrangement.The first sentence after allowing him to speak is: "When will I start talking to the club about my retirement?"

Evan was blocked by this sentence and didn't know what to say. He stood there stupidly for a long time before he remembered to use the strategy of delaying the attack.

"Let's talk when your mother wakes up, George..."

He couldn't think of any other way besides delaying time.Maybe after Sophia woke up, Wood changed his mind as soon as he was happy?
But if Wood still insists on retiring after Sophia wakes up, what should the club do at that time?

Evan Dalgety, the chairman of the club, has no bottom at all...
